I am a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Northwest Anglia NHS Foundation Trust. I specialise in general and colorectal surgery.
I offer investigation and treatment for change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding and bowel cancer screening. I also treat conditions of the bottom such as anal fissure, anal fistula, haemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, anal skin tags and abscesses. I offer surgery for bowel cancer (colorectal surgery), surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), colorectal cancer screening, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, polypectomy and stoma surgery. I also provide treatment of haemorrhoids (banding of haemorrhoids, transanal haemorrhoid dearterialisation (THD) and haemorrhoidectomy).
I completed my basic surgical training in Yorkshire and higher surgical training in the East of England where I worked in various hospitals including leading university teaching hospitals specialising in open/laparoscopic general and colorectal surgery.

I was awarded a Doctorate in Medicine from the University of Leicester for my research into the effects of Omega 3 fish oils in management of critically ill septic patients. I presented my results internationally and have several publications in peer reviewed journals.
